That's what I needed! Good job. Now I can see what to fix - and it appears a lot of it may be gone already.

Please download the Killbox.
Unzip it to the desktop but do NOT run it yet.
Then please reboot into Safe Mode by restarting your computer and pressing F8 as your computer is booting up. Then select the Safe Mode option.
Once in Safe Mode, please run Killbox.
Click "Replace on Reboot" and check the "Use Dummy" box.
Paste the following into the top "Full Path of File to Delete" box.

C:\WINDOWS\System32\ipiprz.exe

Click the red-and-white "Delete File".
Click "Yes" at the Replace on Reboot prompt.
Click "No" at the Pending Operations prompt.
Repeat steps above for this file:

Click "Yes" at the Replace on Reboot prompt.
Click "Yes" at the Pending Operations prompt to restart your computer. You do not need to reboot into Safe Mode this time.
When your computer reboots, please run Find-Qoologic2.bat again and post the new log here. There will be more to clean up. We'll worry about the L2M when we get this straigtened out.

If you dont feel comfortable reinstalling your Operating System, then I would say leave it to the pros. There can be much more to a reinstall than just slapping a disk in and running the setup.exe file. You may have drivers that need to be installed also. If you have any third party hardware installed then you will most likely need to get the drivers. But after reviewing these posts I see you have a Dell. Running the recovery cd will help you in reformatting your hard drive and starting fresh. be forwarned that you will loose all data with a format so backup your data.

Why should you do a fresh install? Well for one it can clean up alot of crap that malware, spyware, and adware ****ed up. Just look at the firewall issue. Reformatting the hard drive will also help free up space that once held old dll files and other files that arent removed after a uninstall. I suggest to all my customers to get a clean start once a year. P.S. I normally charge $120.00 for a reinstall and $45.00 for a backup. "Easy money" Geek squad charges more.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. I have an illness in the family. If I dissappear for a day or so then things here need my attention. If noone else jumps in here bring your logs to bleepingcomputer.com & link back to this post. They'll help you out there. Hopefully that won't be neccesary though.

Please; there is no need to apologize for taking awhile to get back. I feel indebted to you and everybody that is helping me. Believe it or not this is groundbreaking stuff for me. So, not only am I getting my computer fixed, I am learning a great deal as I go along. I'm also very sorry to hear about illness touching your life. We have had quite a bit of that here in the past several months too. I hope evrything is working out okay for you.

I did the operations you prescribed. I didn't shut down or anything before running these scans. Here is the first .....

and the second .......
